    Hi and welcome to SSC. It is not totally clear what you are trying to do here. To make a remote connection you need to use the server/machine name. If it is a named instance you would need to add "/YourInstanceName" after the server name.

    I moved Access Database to the Server and created short cuts to it on

    the users desktops.
